Nick Hagadone

The chances that Kyle Crockett will ever pitch a no-hitter on the Major League level are slim because he's a relief pitcher. But he came within two outs of being part of combined no-hitter with three other pitchers in the Cleveland Indians' 5-1 win over Houston on Thursday.

Houston's Jed Lowrie broke up the no-hitter with a homer with an out in the bottom of the ninth off of Cleveland reliever Nick Hagadone. Before that Trevor Bauer (6 IP, 5 BB, 11 K), Crockett (1 IP, 1 BB, 2 K) and Scott Atchison (1 IP, 1 BB, 1 K) had kept the Astros hitless.

The appearance was the first of the season for Crockett, who pitched in 43 games as a rookie in 2014.
